I’ve Got a Handyman Deals

February 28, 2012

I’m a little late checking out the deals this morning because I just went to Menards with a friendly handyman named Tim. Yep, I scheduled a handyman through a daily deal and did not have the supplies on hand for him to do the job. Actually, I had a few jobs for him, but I didn’t know he would burn through them all in the first hour! So off we went on an hourlong shopping trip to get a sink that would take him 15 minutes to install, but oh well — thanks to you guys shopping through my Plum District link it didn’t cost me any cash.

One question before we begin, though — do you tip a handyman from a service? I guess I’ll offer because he is kindly going over his allotted time. (Of course, he wouldn’t have gone over if he hadn’t gotten lost on the way to Meanrds, but still.)

(Answer to my own question: Yep,it’s OK to tip your handyman. Tim was a good conversationalist on the drive to Menards and back — I would recommend Budget Right Handyman if you are looking for that type of service.)

Don’t worry if your favorite restaurant is sold out — they’re sure to have another coupon code next month. Most $25 vouchers have historically cost $10 on Restaurant.com, but lately I’ve noticed many of them priced higher. Is this a trend, or is it just that the restaurants I like are the ones charging more?
